THE ANDERSON GALLERIES
INCORPORATED
MapIsON AVENUE AT FoRTIETH STREET, NEw YORK.
Tclephone, Murray Hill 7680. Catalogues on request.
Sales Conducted by Mr. Frederick A. Chapman.
PREFACE.
The books here catalogued are duplicates and selections
from the great library of Mr. Henry E. Huntington and .con-
sist entirely of books printed in the French language, mainly
during the Nineteenth Century. Many of the volumes were
formerly in other famous collections, notably those of Frederic
kh. Halsey and the late Robert Hoe.
It ws the finest collection of modern French books that has
ever been offered for sale, either in this country or Europe,
and it is extremely unlikely that there will ever be another
sale of the same high character. In printing, illustrating,
and binding these volumes exhibit the highest skill of the
world’s greatest artists.
The editions are limited to small numbers, many of the
books are printed on the choicest papers, and the colored
illustrations are exquisite. The bindings are such as only
the master craftsmen of France can produce, among those
represented being Trautz-Bauzonnet, Chambolle-Duru, David,
Canape, Lortic, Meunier, Mercier, and Marius Michel.
Among the authors whose works were selected for produc-
tion in the highest style of the art of printer, illustrator, and
binder are Balzac, Beaumarchais, Bourget, Coppée, Daudet,
Dumas, Flaubert, France, Goncourt, Hugo, La Fontaine, Loti,
Maupassant, Mérimée, Moliére, Montaigne, Rabelais, Rostand,
Uzanne, Verlaine, and Zola, but there are hundreds of others.
Among the First Editions of earlier times are the works of
Racine, Corneille, and Voltaire; Rousseau’s Emile, Perrault’s
Hommes Illustres (Paris: 1696-1700), and the genuine First
Edition of Le Sage’s Gil Blas.
Some of the books with Eighteenth Century engravings are
very important. Among them are Berquin and Rousseau’s
Pygmalion, Paris: 1775, on Holland paper; Cervantes’s Don
Quixote with plates by Berger; Dorat’s Les Baisers, 1770, on
large Holland paper, and Fables Nouvelles, 1773, on large
paper; Longus’s Daphnis et Chloe, Lille: 1792; the Heptam-
erone, Berne: 1780-81; Marmontel’s Contes Moraux, Paris:
1765, and Les Ineas, 1777, and Pezay’s Zélis au Bain, Genéve:
1763.

accepted as the scarcest of all Elzeviers, measuring 125 millim.
by 74, and containing a fine, clear impression of the plate,
which represents a kitchen with cooks preparing various dishes
of game and pastry. Its great rarity is partly accounted for
by its having been used and thumbed to pieces by cooks and
kitchen-maids, instead of being preserved on the shelves of the
collector, as the other Elzeviers were. The binding is a very
